We had some digging to do...but what we found is gold!!!

Everyone’s favourite Devoleena Bhattacharjee aka Gopi Bahu from Saath Nibhana Saathiya is a talented actress.

Winner of many awards, Devoleena has been a pillar in one of most watched shows on Indian television, airing on Star Plus.

Now, she is a famous star, a household name. However, she climbed up the ladder via hardwork and struggle, which we salute and appreciate.

With no godfather in the industry, Devoleena’s story is that of success and an inspiration to many.

Hailing from a small village in Assam, the doe eyed actress, battled all odds and emerged triumphant, all via sheer grit and determination.

Perennially ambitious and brimming with energy, we bumped into an archival video on the Internet which captures Devoleena’s happiness after getting selected post an audition at Dance India Dance season 2.

Pretty and confident, Devoleena gracefully performs Bharat Natyam and her gestures win much admiration from the judges (Geeta Ma, Remo and Terrence).

Her expressions on winning the ‘topi’ are priceless to the extent of being hilarious. Well, who are we to judge? Victory has a different meaning for all and for Devoleena, it’s about celebrating unabashedly.

When we spoke to Devoleena on the find, she chuckled and said: “It’s been a long time and I behaved like a kid. But it’s a sweet memory.”

More success to you, Devoleena. Check the video here:
